Seattle Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch is turning his noted aversion to the media into a gainful venture for himself.
Lynch coined the phrase "I'm just here so I won't get fined" during media week for Super Bowl XLVIII, as he was threatened to face a $100,000 fine if he didn't speak to the press before the championship game.

After Seattle made a second consecutive Super Bowl appearance, Lynch reintroduced the phrase to the media and it became his notable quotation of this year's event.
